Still no Yamaha departure post for Eli, and no KTM news. I want that Eli announcement already 

Well, we did get the Chase/KTM split a little bit ago so there's some slight movement happening

Really hope Jett Reynolds gets something halfway decent and sticks with it. He’s a few years younger than me, but 10 or so years ago he was the next big thing.

The way contracts and PR is handled in this sport is so unbelievably stupid.

Looks like no Chase news until next month.

So the latest Gypsy Tales vid on YT said that Kawi released Prado, but Monster still hasn't. Which would obviously make it very difficult for him to join Redbull KTM.. Sounded like Monster is digging their heels in too. Wild stuff here if true. Kind of makes you wonder about the spy photo of him on the KTM with the RB graphics taken off.

GT video is old. After mxon the moto press was reporting Prado released from kawi/monster effective 10/16.

It was posted 23 hours ago. Maybe it's old commentary.. who knows.

Based on how much RJ improved on a 450 in AMA racing, I can understand why they might want to give him a chance. Both are tenacious, resilient, driven to succeed at all costs, and have spent more time under their 250f than on it.

I like whackers but for all tht , u might as well let Garrett get the 2nd spot , he’d be more suited in the 450 than whackers, seems to me this 2nd spot is like a 1 or 2 yr rental for the guy they really want to put energy too down the road

I'm surprised there aren't more people unaffiliated with media that take pictures of riders on new bikes and leak them.

I don’t remember if he said which team it was, but one of the funniest things I’ve ever heard in this sport was when Steve Matthes said he reached out to one of the PR members of the team to get an interview with a rider and they texted back “Hahaha Good luck”

But who's that guy coming down the road? Unless Kawi's going all in on Hammaker, there isn't anyone in their stable with the hype AC had when he moved up.

well truth be told pre season it was supposed to be brotha prado but at this current moment if we going off the trend of how factory kawi handle their business, the guy should be Levi & the connections is already there with them signing chase cause chase & Levi was all a group pack

I think it'll depend on how Levi performs next season. He was clearly on another level before his crash at Daytona, so if he can get back there (minus the crashing), then you may be right.

In SX:

McAdoo has 22 podiums and 3 wins.

Levi has 11 podiums and 3 wins.

Hammacker has 8 podiums and 2 wins.

Garrett has 7 podiums and 1 win

I realize they've all had a different number of attempts.

yeaaa fax 👍🏾 Levi has to hold up his end of the bargain , to my put team manager / owner hat on , I would just go the top guy & the 2nd guy combo RV & Jake weimer style with chase & Garrett but I think kawi wants a 1A & 1B guy , but with the situation at hand , their settling for a a yr or 2 rental guy , but thts how im viewing it

I for the life of me can't understand the 2nd Kawi spot. Garrett all day long to me on a 2 year deal. He would be really good outdoors and seems like he is getting better in sx. His chance of winning a 250 title is slim to me.

Don't forget that only one of these dude's was willing to just "let it all hang out".

Kawasaki and Monster care about SX.
